A Styled Shoot 5 Years in the Making

Oh, it was just the sweetest moment to step back and see the magnificent facade of the Peterloon Manor fill my camera frame. My husband, David and I celebrated the start to our marriage at the Peterloon 5 years ago on May 16th and I’ve been dying to shoot there ever since my own wedding was captured at this gorgeous historic estate. So finally, I said…”why wait?”

I reached out to my dream team of vendors and they were just as excited as I was to collaborate and create beauty, inspiration and romance in the midst of a tough Covid season that has brought strain, confusion and so many tears for the couples that we work with. Getting to refresh and create again was a welcome change of pace!

When you work with Odessa James, you not only get beautiful photos, you get expert curation, vendor relationships, wedding experience and coordination on your big day. These skills were put to the test as I pulled off a styled shoot with the help of 15 other vendors that we opened up to 25 photographers, 2 videographers and a host of models. Cheers to building relationships, creating together and building community! So excited to have pulled this all off and grateful for everyone involved.
